NdFeB and PrFeB nanocomposite hard magnetic materials of the exchange-spring type were prepared by splat-cooling. Hysteresis cycles reveal that magnetisation processes may be analysed in terms of two contributions arising from the two different phases which exist in these systems. The soft phase magnetisation reverses first at a field of approximately 0.3 T which is found to be little temperature dependent. Reversal is determined by exchange coupling with the hard phase. A grain size of 20 nm is deduced. This value is in agreement with structural analysis. The hard-phase magnetisation reverses at a larger field value which is found to increase steadily with decreasing temperature (2.75 T in the PrFeB samples and 1.1 T in the NdFeB sample at 20 K). Reversal is found to be determined by processes which are reminiscent of those characterising reversal in usual sintered or melt-spun RFeB magnets. At room temperature, the activation volume deduced from magnetic after-effect measurements is 2200 nm3. The contribution of inter-particle dipole interactions to magnetisation reversal is found to be small.
